Terms & Conditions

These awards are open to UK residents aged 18 or over, excluding employees of the Promoter (or any other company within the Avant Homes group) (an “Employee”), an Employee’s immediate family, their agents or anyone else professionally connected with this promotion.

To participate in this promotion, entrants must submit the details of their nominated person or project (the “Project”) via www.avanthomes.co.uk/letsmakeadifference (the “Website”) and complete all required details prior to the Closing Date of 28th October 2019. Entry by any other means will not be accepted.

The Project must have been carried out in, or impacted upon, a community in England or Scotland in the areas in which The Promoter builds. Eligible categories are Scotland, North East, Yorkshire, Midlands or Other. Nominations made outside of these areas will be considered at the discretion of The Promoter.

Prizes will be issued to one winner out of each of the four eligible locations.

Stage one of the judging process will involve all nominated projects considered by the judges. This will consist of a panel made up of both internal representatives from the Promoter and external representatives.

The entrant is the individual submitting the entry. The Prizes are awarded to the winning Project(s) and not the entrant. The entrants themselves shall have no claim to the Prize or any part thereof.

The Projects that successfully make it to the shortlist will be uploaded to the Website from 29th October to 14th November to allow public voting to take place.

During the Voting Period, the Promoter may contact shortlisted entrants to arrange a site visit or meeting to review the feasibility of the entry in accordance with the Criteria.

The judging process will involve the following Criteria:
• Community impact
• Strength of entry and detail provided
• Creativity of project
• Challenges overcome
• Location of project (the “Criteria”)

One vote per email address is permitted. Each vote will count as one mark for that Project. That will award marks in accordance with the Criteria (there is a maximum of 10 marks available per Criteria).

At the end of the Voting Period, stage three of the judging process will commence. This will be a review of the final overall mark achieved by each entrant

The Prize will comprise a sum of £1,000, a trophy and a celebration event hosted by The Promoter.

Prizes are not transferable, and no cash alternative is available.

In the event of unforeseen circumstances, or circumstances outside of its control, the Promoter reserves the right to offer an alternative Prize(s) of equal or greater value.

Accepting a Prize may give rise to a tax liability which will be the winner(s) responsibility.

Any queries regarding the Prizes, the Criteria or the judging process should be sent to letsmakeadifference@avanthomes.co.uk
